[Chorus – Matthew Santos]If you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the camera's is hereAnd the microphone'sAnd they wanna' know oh oh oh oh (The Return)If you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the crowd is hereAnd the lights are onAnd they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah

[Verse 1 – Lupe Fiasco]Yeah, uhA fresh cool young Lu'Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrueThe world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?YOU! The more famous person you come throughAnd the sexy lady next to you, you come tooAnd then it hit meStandin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get meI'm too uncouthUnschooled to the rules and too gum shoeToo much of a new comer and too un-coolLike Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it wellTho I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"Go back, whatever you did you undoHeavy as heavenThe devil on me, two ton's too

[Chorus – Matthew Santos]If you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the camera's is hereAnd the microphone'sAnd they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah

[Verse 2 – Lupe Fiasco]And ya' better wear ya' shaaadesThe spotlights here can burn holes through the staaageDown to the basement pass the Indian gravesWhere the dinosaurs laidThen out through shinin', nearly miss the airlinersMagnified times five, 'less its pointed at the ryhmerRicochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaaazeNow that's important to say'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to faaadeWe want it to braid, meaning we want it to growMeaning we want it to staaayLike the Governor called and he told him to waaaitUn-strap him from the chair and put him back in his caaageThe audience ain't faaazedAnd they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praiseThey want everything back that they've paid'Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim

[Chorus – Matthew Santos]If you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the crowd is hereAnd the lights are onAnd they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah

[Verse 3 – Lupe Fiasco]So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole daysMe and security ain't getting' alongAnd when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were goneSo just take me home where the mood is mellowAnd the roses are grown, M&Ms are yellowAnd the light bulbs around my mirror don't flickerEverybody gets a nice autograph pictureOne for you and one for your sisterWho had to work tonight but is an avid listenerEvery songs her favorite song and mics don't feedbackAll the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleasedAnd then they all take the stage and start performin' for meLike, ha ha ha ha haHa ha ha ha ha, ha

[Chorus – Matthew Santos]If you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the camera's is hereAnd the microphone'sAnd they wanna' know oh oh oh ohIf you are what you say you are, a superstarThen have no fear, the crowd is hereAnd the lights are onAnd they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah
